As much as I like Pan Am I was disappointed in the recent episode where they landed in Haiti to seek medical care for a sick passenger. It wasn't realistic. A captain would not choose to land at a closed airport in a country undergoing a civil war and endangering his passenger's lives in an attempt to save one.
It was definitely high drama with all the problems they encountered. There were also a lot of 21st century values in the episode that were out of place. Did enjoy the camaraderie of the stewardesses at the end when they each admitted to doing the humanitarian deed.

Just checked in on the sci-fi/fantasy shows I am following. For the latest news on who is going to make it and who isn't :
Once Upon A Time is totally safe at this point. It's a hit with solid numbers and an audience loyalty of 93%. Excellent!

Terra Nova is doing OK. It would be in the safe zone if not for the cost. No word yet on whether Fox will renew but it is not on the chopping block yet.

Grimm has high fan loyalty but not that of the network

Yet, the series has really been nothing but good news for NBC. It was the network's fifth highest-rated show this week, behind "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Harry's Law" and two episodes of "The Biggest Loser." It's also ahead of NBC's other new shows, including "Up All Night" and the soon-to-be-axed "Prime Suspect."

Sadly, NBC isn't going to provide the show much support. It still has to deal with a poor lead-in from "Chuck," this week having to add 62 percent to its total. And when "Chuck" goes away just after mid-season, it will have to fare with reality programming in the form of "Who Do You Think You Are?" which has never been much of a ratings winner itself.

I feared this as NBC sees a winner so rarely their knee jerk reaction is to cancel it and replace it with a news show. How the heck are those execs holding on to their jobs?
